Brentford mark the official opening of their new stadium in the style after coming from behind to beat Valencia 2-1 thanks to goals from Ethan Pinnock and Frank Onyeka

Premier League new boys Brentford marked the official opening of their new stadium with a victory against Valencia.

The Bees warmed up for their opening league clash, at home to Arsenal on Friday, courtesy of second half goals by Ethan Pinnock and Frank Onyeka in the friendly at the Brentford Community Stadium.

It was a strong line-up ahead of Brentford's first appearance in the top tier since 1947, despite a pre-match surprise over the omission from the squad of Ivan Toney. The striker, who netted 31 times in the Championship last term, had put out a statement reaffirming his refusal to take the knee, a stance he has observed since February.
